Subject field(s)
  • Federal Government Bodies and Committees (Canadian)
  • Administrative Structures (Publ. Admin.)
OBS

An administrative designation at Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). The new organization (1995), which PWGSC designated "National Capital Area", includes the former administrative units called "headquarters" and "National Capital Region". The PWGSC administrative unit titled the "national capital area", or "nca", from 1995 to 2000 at the request of the then Deputy Minister, and "National Capital Area", or "NCA", since 2000, is not to be confused with the geographic designation "National Capital Region". (Information provided by the Communications Branch, PWGSC).

  • Organismes et comités fédéraux (Gouvernement canadien)
  • Structures de l'administration publique
OBS

Désignation administrative à Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada (TPSGC). La nouvelle entité administrative, que TPSGC a cru bon de désigner «Secteur de la capitale nationale», résulte de la fusion de deux entités : les bureaux de l'«administration centrale» de TPSGC et les bureaux de l'ancienne «Région de la capitale nationale» du Ministère. Écrire «région de la capitale nationale», c'est désigner la région géographique et non l'entité administrative de TPSGC. L'entité administrative a été désignée «secteur de la capitale nationale», ou «scn», sans majuscules, entre 1995 et 2000, à la demande du sous-ministre duquel elle relevait; on écrit «Secteur de la capitale nationale», ou «SCN», depuis 2000. (Information obtenue de la Direction générale des communications, TPSGC).
